Front

What captures the sun's energy?

Back

Chlorophyll in the chloroplast.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

Water and carbon dioxide.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Water and carbon dioxide.

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

They have opposite equations/processes.

Front

How is energy transformed in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight energy transforms into stored energy (glucose).

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, producing carbon dioxide and water.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plants?

Back

In the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in cells?

Back

In the mitochondria of cells.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?
